Negotiable from $1.1 million.

This stunningly spacious home is on the market for the first time, within beautiful low-maintenance grounds facing north and west, and enjoying vistas of both the mountainous skyline and the lower Akaroa Harbour which reflects them.

Upon entry, the double-height ceiling exudes a sense of space and quality, confirmed by spacious open plan twin living flowing outside to level lawns, ample garaging and storage, and a downstairs bedroom and full bathroom. Three more bedrooms including spacious master with ensuite and family bathroom are up the grand staircase, overall a wonderful fusion of light and breathability, and obviously designed to stand the test of time. Certainly family-friendly and a beautiful place to host loved ones, it's easy to relax in such a special location, whether permanently or on weekends.

Less than ten minutes sees you within Akaroa's charms and selection of eateries or enjoying water activities, and with boating clubs local and a plethora of tracks and trails to explore, you will be out and about, meaning the ideally-sized and low maintenance level gardens and lawns are a real bonus.

Aspects of the lower harbour and hillside scenery can be enjoyed from all bedrooms as well as living spaces within its 267sqm floor. Easily run gas and electric heating and double glazing keeps things cosy. Convenience and luxury remain for the fortunate purchasers in the form of the builders warranty, surround sound stereo, T.V. and media set-up, and cool drinks from the icemaker fridge-freezer.

Estates like this magnificent haven, which our vendors have enjoyed permanently as their home from design and construction, are tightly held, and rarely available.
